Hints & Tips
nThe maximum capacity to the top of the jar for the blending attachment is 1.75L.
However, we recommend that the blender is filled only to 1.25L for cold ingredients
and 1L for hot ingredients.
nAlways add liquid ingredients to the glass jar first, then add remaining ingredients. This
will ensure that ingredients are blended consistently.
nCut most foods into cubes approximately 1.5-2.5cm to achieve a more uniform result.
Cut all cheese into pieces no larger than 1.5cm.
nUse the measuring cap in the lid to measure liquid ingredients such as alcohol. Always
replace after ingredients have been added (unless processing hot food).
nWhen chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, breadcrumbs, spices etc make sure the
glass jar and cutting assembly are completely dry.
nIf food tends to stick to the sides of the glass jar when blending, pulse in short bursts.
nPulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades stop rotating between
pulses.
nDon’t over-process foods. This appliance will achieve most desired results in seconds,
not minutes.
nWhen puréeing hot food, e.g. for soup or baby food, strain the solids from the liquid,
reserving the liquid. Place the cooked solids in the jar along with 4-8tbsp liquid.
Replace lid firmly, remove the measuring cap and blend using a pulse action on ‘low’,
until the desired consistency is reached.
nAllow hot foods to cool slightly before blending to prevent steam build-up which may
cause the lid to lift up from the jar. Always remove measuring cap when blending hot
food.
nAlways ensure the Blender is switched off before using a rubber/plastic spatula. Never
use metal utensils as damage may occur to the glass jar or blade assembly
nWhen scraping the sides of the glass jar with a spatula, place food in the centre over
the blade assembly.
nDo not overload the blender. If the motor stalls turn the blender off immediately,
unplug from the mains and remove a portion of food then continue.

Whipping/Emulsifying disc. You may also use the PULSE setting on HIGH or LOW.
A. Using the Chopping Blade
IMPORTANT: Always ensure the quantities used do not exceed the quantities
recommended.Overloading may damage the attachments and/or appliance. (see Hints &
Tips on page 15).
nAdd ingredients to the work bowl, either through the feed tube or directly into the

nLift the work bowl with the collar off the motor base
nEmpty the contents of the work bowl
N.B. Take care when removing the contents, always keep one hand on the plastic stem
to ensure the blade does not fall out.
B. Adding Ingredients while Processing
nTo add liquid while the appliance is running, pour through the open feed tube, with the
pusher removed. This is especially useful when making sauces
nAlternatively a small hole in the pusher allows you to add liquids in a very slow steady
stream, this is useful when making dressings e.g mayonnaise
nTo add small pieces of food drop them through the open feed tube

15
N.B. Always use the pusher to guide food through the feed tube. Never use your
fingers or a spatula
C. Using the Slicing/Grating Disc

N.B. Always use the HIGH setting when slicing/grating
nSlicing/Grating will only take seconds, wait until the disc has stopped rotating and
remove the lid
nRemove the disc by holding the plastic stem in the centre and lift up, also remove the
stem adapter
nRemove the collar and work bowl from the motor base and empty contents from the
bowl.
D. Using the Whipping/Emulsifying Disc
nThe disc allows you to emulsify foods such as egg whites, whipped cream, mayonnaise,
meringue and vinaigrette
nFit the disc using the instructions on page 14
nInsert the food into the work bowl and fit the lid and pusher
nPress the LOW or HIGH button, allow the motor to run until you have reached the
desired consistency
Hints &Tips
Food Processing
nThe maximum capacity to the top of the work bowl is 1L. However, we recommend that
the bowl is filled only 3/4 full.
nAlways cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size of approximately 1.5cm
to achieve even results.
nIt is ideal for chopping softer food such as herbs, celery, onions, garlic and most cheese.
It is also useful for puréeing cooked vegetables, making mayonnaise and mixing salad
dressing.
nDo not overload the work bowl. Overloading caused the inconsistent results and strains
the motor.

16
A. Chopping fresh herbs
The herbs, work bowl and blade must all be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Remove the
stems from herbs. Add the leaves to work bowl and process, using the HIGH/LOW button,
until they are chopped to the desired consistency.
B. Chopping meat, poulty, fish &shellfish
The food should be very cold but not frozen. Cut into 1.5cm pieces and place in work bowl.
Process using the HIGH/LOW button until the food is evenly chopped. Use a continuous
processing action for a few seconds for a finer chop if required. Use a spatula to scrape
food down from the sides of the work bowl as necessary.
C. Chopping nuts
Add the nuts to the work bowl and process continuously using the HIGH/LOW button until
chopped to the desired consistency. Check frequently to avoid nuts clumping together. If
necessary, use the spatula to re-distribute the nuts evenly in the work bowl.
D. Producing a puree
Cut the food into 1.5cm pieces, and place in work bowl. Use the HIGH/LOW button and a
‘pulse’ action to chop coarsely, then process continuously until food is puréed.
N.B. Cooked potatoes are an exception to this procedure. They develop a gluey texture
when processed with the metal blade.
E. Grinding coffee beans and hard foods
Add coffee or hard food to the work bowl. Use the HIGH/LOW button and process using
a continuous action until desired consistency is reached. Coffee beans may take slightly
longer to process, so use a pulse action every 10 seconds or so to allow food to drop to
the bottom of the work bowl.

17
Grating/Slicing
nNever put your fingers or a spatula into the feed tube, always use the pusher.
nFor best results: Place the food flat side down and as far left as possible in the feed
tube to prevent it from tilting when being processed.
nFor even results, food should fit snugly in the feed tube
nAlways pack food in the feed tube evenly to slice. Some foods, like hard vegetables
need firm pressure on the feed tube, while softer foods need light pressure
nFor julienne or matchstick – Place food horizontally in the feed tube and process with
even pressure to create long slices. Replace the slices in the feed tube vertically and
process again using even pressure
nFor round fruits or vegetables – Remove a thick slice on the bottom of the food so that
it sits upright in the feed tube. If food does not fit in the feed tube, halve or quarter to
fit. Process with even pressure
nFor small ingredients trim the ends so the food sits upright in the feed tube
nWhen slicing or grating cheese ensure the cheese is well chilled
nSome foods, like hard vegetables need firm pressure on the feed tube while softer foods
need light pressure
nTo shred leafy vegetables, roll leaves together and stand upright in the feed tube.
Process with even pressure
Food Processor Cleaning &Maintenance
nWhen not in use, leave the appliance unplugged.
nAll parts except the housing base and work bowl collar are dishwasher safe. We
recommend washing them in the dishwasher on the top rack. Due to intense water
heat, washing the work bowl, lid and blades/discs on the bottom rack may cause
damage over time. Insert the work bowl upside down.
nIf you wash the blade by hand, wash with extreme care, the blade is very sharp. Do not
leave it in soapy water where it may disappear from sight.
nTake extra care when loading and unloading blade in the dishwasher.
nTo simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, lid and blade immediately after use so food
won’t dry on them.
nChopping certain foods may scratch, cloud or discolour the work bowl.
nDo not use abrasive cleaners on the housing base or work bowl collar. Simply wipe with
a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
